CNC router on the cheap

[eried]

Sometimes when I get into some problem, I just go mad trying to solve it.

Weeks ago I bought a second 3d printer (this time a reprap, for an added challenge).


Short history, the build platform it is a little bent and it is just infuriating. I bought several more and they all come bent. After that I added an induction sensor to try to correct the bending via software but it is not perfect (the bend is a curve and the sensor would have to scan millions of points to correct the bending):


Anyway, my post is to share this nice CNC router kit that it is available in http://www.inventables.com fully customized to get any wood/aluminium/etc 3d carving needs fulfilled:

Parts:


X and Y axis assembled:


X, Y, Z and belting done. Missing the bottom structure:


About 5-7 hours of work.

Oh!! and the link with the 3d printing haha... it is that my intention is to 'flatten' it cutting a thin part of the top of the printing bed
